Door Removal and Replacement (Removable Hinge Cover Type) Standard Method

Before door work can begin the unit must be empty and clear of all obstructions.

Check for these potential problems:

  • end of horizontal track covered by sidewall liner, racks, shelves, etc.
  • refrigeration unit at end of track
  • ceiling not flat (low spots)
  • lights in ceiling
  • sidewalls narrower than wall to wall where tracks are located
  • unit loaded with freight

If any of the above conditions exist, see alternate.

Hint: it may be easier to replace a door when working at the same level as the truck or trailer, such as from a loading dock.
